Garrett Herbarium

New Special Exhibit Section Opening Join us for the opening Wildfire, a new area within the Nature Unleashed special exhibition that examines the role of wildfire. Fire, forest ecology, and the relationship between humans and wildfire are particularly relevant to life in the West!

Mitchell Power, curator of the Garrett Herbarium at the Natural History Museum of Utah, is fascinated with the mechanisms that cause changes in plant communities since the last Ice Age. His research explores the linkages among vegetation, disturbance, climate, and people through time.
